The weird guy in Florida is RE-INDICTED for the January 6 charges!
Jack Smith has been a busy boy!
Since the Supreme Court made their rather partisan ruling that the President is immune to acts being charged as crimes while he's sitting in office, Smith empaneled a new grand jury, represented all the evidence that he had against the weird former president, excluded specific references to things that could be covered by the SCOTUS shield, and the grand jury returned the same four charges that he had before!
The weird guy is of course complaining that it is election interference, and that it's illegal to file charges so close to the election, etc.
It's hard to say how this will play out, obviously it will not come to trial before the election, but it's guaranteed to make the weird guy sweat some more.
Along with these charges being refiled, Smith is refiling the top secret documents case in the district that encompasses Georgia. I'm sure that will also be carefully edited to remove reference to the weird guy's previous job to avoid the SCOTUS Shield.
